Sport Fishing on a charter boat - 5 things to remember

On the fishing head boat I was on, quite a few children and even more adults got seasick. Now, in sort of like a move of self-preservation (I'm a sympathetic vomiter...), I brought along crackers, knowing full well that crackers can be the best friend of a motion sick person. And, good thing I did as, although I didn't need them, I left the boat with nary a cracker to be seen.

Even if you've never gotten seasick, it's best if you're prepared for the one time you do. After all, the water off shore may have a totally different wave pattern than that in the harbor (and will!).

The best thing you can do though, to prevent seasickness, is, before you even see a boat, apply a transdermal motion sickness patch that you have to get by prescription from a doctor. Put it behind your ear for at least an hour before boarding the boat and you should be fine.

I was sick as a dog on a cruise recently (we took my 95 year old Mom aboard and she was only one of two in our seven person party who wasn't sick). Read more about my demise here: Taking a cruise with the elderly. I tried seasickness bands, emetrol, ginger gum - some of it seemed to at least quell the queasiness so they might be worth a try. Here's some items for your consideration when you go deep sea fishing on a chartered head boat:
